Vilitra 20 is commonly prescribed for the treatment of a male s*xual dysfunctional condition called impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction (ED). Each tablet of this medicine contains 20 mg of a monohydrochloride salt (HCl) of vardenafil.

Classified in the phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor drug class (PDE-5 inhibitor), it helps to achieve an erection by making more blood flow into the p*nis. It can be taken with or without food. Effects usually appear between 30 minutes and 1 hour after consumption. The effects of this drug last for 4 to 5 hours.

How does Vilitra 20mg work?

Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) plays a crucial role in achieving an erection because it increases the vasodilation of the penile muscles, increasing blood flow. However, PDE-5 is an enzyme known to break down cGMP and cause a weak erection. Vardenafil (the active ingredient in Vilitra) stops the activity of the PDE-5 enzyme by mimicking cGMP. It is structurally so similar to cGMP that the PDE-5 enzyme binds to Vardenafil instead of cGMP. A higher concentration of cGMP in the blood will increase blood circulation in the p*nis and help you get / maintain a firm erection during s*xual intercourse.

However, it is important to know that cGMP is only activated when NO (nitric oxide) is released in the corpus cavernosum, the erectile tissue of the p*nis. And NO is released only in response to sufficient s*xual stimulation. Therefore, Vilitra 60 will not work in the absence of s*xual stimulation.

Uses of Vilitra 20mg

Vilitra 20 mg is usually prescribed for the treatment of early stage erectile dysfunction. It helps you get and maintain an erection during intercourse.

Recommended dose

If you plan to take it occasionally, depending on your needs, it is recommended that you take one pill half an hour to an hour before having sex. If you are taking it on the advice of your doctor, take the drug as directed (usually 1 pill per day). Do not take more than the recommended dose, i.e. one tablet a day, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

You should avoid taking the pill more than four hours before having s*x as its potency starts to decline afterwards. Also, you can take it with or without food, but the latter is better as Vilitra works faster without food.

Missed dose

You can discard this option if you take it according to your needs. However, for those who will take Super Vilitra daily, they may have missed a dose. In such conditions, you should take the missed dose as soon as you remember. But if you are so late that your next dose is due soon, you should skip the missed dose and just take the next one. Never take 2 tablets within 24 hours without consulting your doctor.
